Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam's Quotes as taken from http://prakash-sri.sulekha.com/blog/post/2007/08/living-legend-from-south-dr-apj-abdul-kalam-s.htm

Thinking should become your capital asset, no matter whatever ups and downs you come across in your life.
Thinking is progress. Non-thinking is stagnation of the individual, organisation and the country. Thinking leads to action. Knowledge without action is useless and irrelevant. Knowledge with action, converts adversity into prosperity.
What actions are most excellent? To gladden the heart of a human being, to feed the hungry, to help the afflicted to lighten the sorrow of the sorrowful and to remove the wrongs of injured.
Away! Fond thoughts, and vex my soul no more! Work claimed my wakeful nights, my busy days Albeit brought memories of Rameswaram shore Yet haunt my dreaming gaze.
When you speak, speak the truth; perform when you promise; discharge your trust…. Withhold your hands from striking, and from taking that which is unlawful and bad.
An overburdened, overstretched executive is the best executive, because he or she doesn't have the time to meddle, to deal in trivia, to bother people.
My worthiness is all my doubt His Merit – all my fear- Contrasting which my quality Does however appear.
